Construction Technology. An Illustrated Introduction
This new textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to every aspect of the technology of low-rise construction. It includes sub-structure (site work, setting out and foundations) and superstructure (flooring, roofs, finishes, fittings and fixtures). The material here covers the first year course requirement of all courses on which construction technology is taught – no matter what the ultimate qualification. It offers tried and tested solutions to a range of construction problems and is organised following the sequence of construction. It will show what has been done in the past, demonstrating good practice – what works and what doesn't – and common faults. There are summaries of the more important BSI documents and reference to the latest building regulations. Lengthy explanations are avoided by relying heavily on hundreds of illustrations, pairing detail drawings with clear photographs to show real life construction situations.

Eurocode 3 Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbauten. Allgemeine Regeln Hochbau. DIN EN 1993-1-1 mit Nationalem Anhang. Kommentar und Beispiele, Band 1
Für die praktische Anwendung von Eurocode 3 DIN EN 1993 Teil 1-1 «Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbauten; Allgemeine Regeln Hochbau» wird mit diesem Buch eine konsolidierte Normfassung vorgelegt. Es werden umfangreiche Kommentare zu den Regelungshintergründen gegeben, um das Normverständnis zu vertiefen. Komplettiert wird der Band durch eine Reihe von Berechnungsbeispielen. Herausgeber und Autoren stellen damit eine unverzichtbare Hilfe für die schnelle Einarbeitung in das neue Regelwerk und die sichere Anwendung in der Praxis zur Verfügung. Auch erhältlich für Teil 1-8 «Anschlüsse». Die europäische Norm DIN EN 1993 Eurocode 3 «Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbauten», die die frühere deutsche Bemessungsnormenreihe 18800 abgelöst und damit die Nachweispraxis im deutschen Stahlbau grundlegend gewandelt hat, besteht aus insgesamt 20 einzelnen Teilen. Diese gliedern sich in Grundlagen (die zwölf Teile DIN EN 1993-1) und Anwendungsteile (DlN EN 1993-2 bis DIN EN 1993-6) auf. Zentrum ist der im Rahmen des vorliegenden Kommentars behandelte Teil 1-1 mit dem Titel «Allgemeine Bemessungsregeln und Regeln für den Hochbau». Alle anderen Teile beziehen sich darauf und geben ergänzende Regeln an. Gleichzeitig werden hochbauspezifische Grundregeln, insbesondere zu Festigkeits- und Stabilitätsnachweisen von Stäben, in diesem Normenteil behandelt. Der vorliegende Kommentar soll allen Fachleuten, die sich planend, bauend, prüfend oder überwachend mit der Bemessung von Stahlbauten in Deutschland oder dem europäischen Ausland befassen, Hilfestellung bei der täglichen Arbeit mit dem Eurocode 3 im Allgemeinen und dem Teil 1-1 im Speziellen bieten. Der Kommentar besteht aus drei Hauptteilen: Zunächst ist DIN EN 1993-1-1 mit den A1-Änderungen von 2014 und Nationalem Anhang inkl. Änderungen A1 (Entwurf) als konsolidierte Fassung abgedruckt. Das heißt, dass man die zugehörigen nationalen Empfehlungen und Ergänzungen genau dort im Normentext findet, wo sie auch gebraucht werden. Der Anwender hat somit alle Regelungen auf einen Blick, anstatt sie sich aus drei Dokumenten zusammenstellen zu müssen. lm darauf folgenden Kommentarteil, der sich von der Gliederung her strikt an die Norm hält, werden Zusatz- und Hintergrundinformationen, Erklärungen und Erläuterungen gegeben, es werden Verknüpfungen zu anderen Normenteilen hergestellt und geplante Änderungen angesprochen. Der dritte Teil enthält Beispielrechnungen, die die Anwendung der wichtigsten Regelungen im Eurocode 3-1-1 auf konkrete Fälle ausführlich und mit Normenbezügen darstellt.

The Plasma Chemistry of Polymer Surfaces. Advanced Techniques for Surface Design
More than 99% of all visible matter in the universe occurs as highly ionized gas plasma with high energy content. Electrical low- and atmospheric-pressure plasmas are characterized by continuous source of moderate quantities of energy or enthalpy transferred predominantly as kinetic energy of electrons. Therefore, such energetically unbalanced plasmas have low gas temperature but produce sufficient energy for inelastic collisions with atoms and molecules in the gas phase, thus producing reactive species and photons, which are able to initiate all types of polymerizations or activate any surface of low reactive polymers. However, the broadly distributed energies in the plasma exceed partially the binding energies in polymers, thus initiating very often unselective reactions and polymer degradation. The intention of this book is to present new plasma processes and new plasma reactions of high selectivity and high yield. This book aims to bridge classical and plasma chemistry, particularly focusing on polymer chemistry in the bulk and on the surface under plasma exposure. The stability of surface functionalization and the qualitative and quantitative measurement of functional groups at polymer surface are featured prominently, and chemical pathways for suppressing the undesirable side effects of plasma exposure are proposed and illustrated with numerous examples. Special attention is paid to the smooth transition from inanimate polymer surfaces to modified bioactive polymer surfaces. A wide range of techniques, plasma types and applications are demonstrated.
Damage Mechanics in Metal Forming. Advanced Modeling and Numerical Simulation
The aim of this book is to summarize the current most effective methods for modeling, simulating, and optimizing metal forming processes, and to present the main features of new, innovative methods currently being developed which will no doubt be the industrial tools of tomorrow. It discusses damage (or defect) prediction in virtual metal forming, using advanced multiphysical and multiscale fully coupled constitutive equations. Theoretical formulation, numerical aspects as well as application to various sheet and bulk metal forming are presented in detail. Virtual metal forming is nowadays inescapable when looking to optimize numerically various metal forming processes in order to design advanced mechanical components. To do this, highly predictive constitutive equations accounting for the full coupling between various physical phenomena at various scales under large deformation including the ductile damage occurrence are required. In addition, fully 3D adaptive numerical methods related to time and space discretization are required in order to solve accurately the associated initial and boundary value problems. This book focuses on these two main and complementary aspects with application to a wide range of metal forming and machining processes. Contents 1. Elements of Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics. 2. Thermomechanically-Consistent Modeling of the Metals Behavior with Ductile Damage. 3. Numerical Methods for Solving Metal Forming Problems. 4. Application to Virtual Metal Forming.
